About Suzie Eli Li — Counsellor, Coach & HR Professional at Eli Mind
About Suzie
Experience, empathy and practical support when you need it most.
Life doesn't always fit neatly into one box. Sometimes the challenges we face are deeply personal. Sometimes they're professional. Often, they're both.
That's why Suzie's approach brings together counselling, executive coaching and over 30 years of experience in leadership, human resources and organisational development — supporting you as a whole person, not just through the lens of one problem.
Her Story
Why this work matters to her
Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty, leadership challenges or a significant life transition, you'll be supported as a whole person — not just through the lens of one problem.
As a registered member of the BACP, a professional coach and holder of a Master's degree in Human Resources, Suzie combines evidence-based therapeutic practice with practical coaching and extensive leadership experience.
Having worked with senior leaders, professionals and individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, she understands the pressures people carry — both inside and outside of work.
Above all, Suzie believes that meaningful change begins with honest conversation, genuine connection and creating a space where you feel heard, understood and able to move forward with confidence.

Philosophy
How Suzie approaches the work
01
You as a whole person
Life doesn't fit neatly into one box. Suzie's approach holds the personal and the professional together — because the challenges people carry rarely respect that boundary.
02
Honest conversation
Meaningful change begins with the ability to speak freely and be genuinely heard. Every session is a space for that — without judgement, without agenda, without performance.
03
Evidence-based and practical
The work draws on counselling, coaching, and decades of leadership and HR experience. It is rigorous, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward.
04
Confidentiality, always
Everything shared in sessions is held in strict confidence, within the ethical guidelines of BACP and ICF. You can speak freely.
Cultural Intelligence
Understanding the context behind the challenge.
Every person brings a unique combination of experiences, values, culture, identity, relationships, and life circumstances to their work and personal life. These influences often shape how we lead, relate, cope, and make decisions.
Suzie works with people from a wide range of backgrounds and recognises that meaningful change requires understanding not only the individual, but also the context in which they live and work.
Whether your challenges relate to leadership, career, relationships, wellbeing, identity, sexuality, family dynamics, or life transitions, you will find a space where your experiences are met with curiosity, respect, and understanding.
